I often get asked whether repeated fall apps of iron sulfate and/or phosphites will control snow mold in the Midwest US. Well Kurt Hockemeyer and I researched it across 3 WI sites...and they don't.

Interesting that $ spot pressure seems to have shifted later in the year. Red lines (recent years) peak later and are lower in the Spring relative to black. Thoughts? Aligning with field observations? @uwpaul @kernsJim Richard Buckley John Kaminski, Ph.D. Brandon Horvath

New blog: I analyzed over 200 abstracts presented at the ASA-CSSA-SSSA Annual Meeting, and used natural language processing to show what turfgrass researchers are talking about. Here’s what I found. maggiereiter.com/blog/c5-topic-…

New blog: Kikuyugrass has one of the most restricted ranges of any turfgrass in the continental United States. I mapped its distribution, showing this grass thrives almost exclusively within a narrow 20-mile strip along the California coast. maggiereiter.com/blog/kikuyugra…

There’s excellent information about sports field management, but it’s scattered across university extension websites and PDFs. What if we could make it easier to find answers? I built an LLM assistant that answers questions about sports turf management. maggiereiter.com/blog/sports-fi…

New blog: I analyzed Google reviews for a regional lawn care service in Austin, Texas. Five-star reviews are about customer service, clear communication, or professional staff. Not turfgrass science. maggiereiter.com/blog/google-re…
